If everyone is fine with that, dates are set similarly to the other years. This means with '''pre-gatherings from the 23th December 2023''' and '''the main gathering(s) happening from the 30th December 2023 with the end being between the 6th and 13th of January 2024'''. Dates are set only to have a common idea of beginning and ending but are certainly not strict.

There is an abandoned guesthouse close to Făgăraș at https://osmand.net/map?pin=45.60187,24.94203#17/45.60187/24.94203. [[User:Mrmagicmax|Mrmagicmax]] found it while hiking in the area and gladly answers all your questions about it. It does not have running water or electricity, but a lot of space and all in all is in good shape. Drinking water can be obtained from the river next to the house - [[User:Mrmagicmax|Mrmagicmax]] didn't get sick from it, yet. No dumpsterdiving spots in the area have been discovered so far. There is also a smaller shelter further up the mountain, which some very adventureous people could try to reach. Access to the house was via a broken window and there were also traces of people using it as their home (A matress and a blanket, some dog poo on the floor), but no person could be found.

Location

https://www.refuges.info/point/1291/cabane-non-gardee/Hotel-d-Italie/

There are tons of cabins in this area, it's rather unique and very nice to walk around. They are maintained by the local commune so the they are stay in a good state. Locals sometimes go there to eat fondue or party, but rarely stay more than a night even on NYE where it might be packed. There is always at least some wood storage and it's very easy to pick up and dry some if not enough.

  • no toilets
  • water probably from a cistern, might need to be boiled; next tap water about 3-4km
  • no electricity, next place to charge 3-4km
